Interesting movie about how flawed people and their families are. I like how there was no grand conclusion to everybody's problem at the end. Just a few fires put out, and everybody got back to their lives pre-wedding. Just like in real life. Also, that wedding was pretty fucking awesome.

Pixar has outdone itself once again. You instantly fall in love with all of the characters, you laugh, you cry... all of the emotions involved in a great movie. I watched it in 3D, and I have to say that I will heretofore have to watch every Pixar movie in 3D. There's no going back.

I thought this movie was about John Connor. It wasn't. While Sam Worthington did a decent job as a hybrid Terminator, Christian Bale was disappointing. Also, every Terminator in the movie was a weakass piece of metal. I thought they were supposed to be the ultimate killing machines. Fail.

As someone who has never seen a single Star Trek episode, or any of the movies, I loooved this reboot of the series. I was a big fan of how the writers were able to rewrite the story of Star Trek, and are thus able to start with a blank slate. Also, the characters were all well casted and very entertaining.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)
While it contained a lot of action and special effects, nothing was really eye-catching or gasp-inducing. It was nice catching the little nerdy comic history tidbits the creators threw in, though. It was interesting, however, seeing all the liberties the writers took with some of the character's histories.

I watched this on a real, curved IMAX screen. It was a little difficult keeping track of what was going on on such a huge screen, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. Except for the omission of the giant squid and the sidestory, it was a pretty faithful retelling of the story.

A good character piece, but I have to admit this overhyped movie didn't live up to all the expectations I built up for it.

2008-12-30 00:29The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
I was hesitant to watch this movie. I'm glad I did. The cinematography was beautiful, the acting: superb, and the story... my god, the story... it just pulls you in.

What do you get when you put a crotchety old Korean war vet next to a house of Hmong immigrants? This awesome movie. Seriously though, I hope I'm as awesome as Clint Eastwood's character Walt when I'm old.

I was surprisingly pleased by this little gem. I feel like it's only funny if you dabble in asian culture, but still, as a member of its target audience, I was entertained.

The trailer for this movie was very intriguing; it was mysterious and it made me want to know what the big secret was. I was disappointed to find out in the first 10 minutes of the movie. However, though I knew what the plot was, the movie still drew me in. I still haven't seen a Will Smith movie that I didn't like. Good job.

I have to say this movie surprised me. If you take the assumption this movie makes with a grain of salt, it's actually a clever, action filled thrill ride. Oh yes, and Michelle Monaghan is quite the cutie.

I'm not exactly convinced Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever. He isn't... smooth enough. Yet. But the movie was action-packed and entertaining so whateva.

It's hard to review this movie, because while it was magnificently horrible, I had read the book and was entertained and amused by how they decided to depict certain scenes. No matter how horrible it was, however, I'm sure it brought in enough revenue to warrant the 3 sequels, and goshdarnit, I'll be watching them, no matter how terrible they are.

For a movie with such cliched themes as love, power, tragedy and money, it was amazing--so amazing that I can't even describe why it was so great.

This actually ended up being better than I expected. I guess I'm a sucker for romantic comedies.

One of those feel good movies that almost make you feel like shit afterwards. Yes, I'm aware that was hypocritical as hell.

2008-10-10 00:30Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist...
Entertaining with great music. As with most NYC movies, it was fun spotting all the landmarks, but I guess especially with this movie, since I'm kind of into the whole indie music scene. Also, I'm starting to develop a crush on Kat Dennings.

2008-10-07 23:55Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the...
Too ridiculous. Even for Indy. It totally nuked the fridge. Not to say it didn't have it's entertaining moments, but it wasn't Indiana Jones caliber.

This movie was actually funnier than the trailer suggested, and that is pretty impressive. Brad Pitt was awesome every time he was on screen. A must see. The Coen Brothers are back.

What a fucking turd. I only gave this movie half a star because this rating system does not allow 0 stars. It was so bad we walked out after 20 minutes. That's pretty effing bad.

Just as good as the last one. All the girls are still super cute, especially Alexis Bledel.

Heath Ledger as the Joker totally stole the show. The movie was great, but long as hell--so long that I had to minus some points.

2008-07-10 22:00Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)
I admit I was impressed with the fight choreography in this. You don't see much of that anymore. It was also kinda funny. + points for all the fantastical creatures too.

Although it's just a bunch of shorts, each film in Gotham Knight beautifully portrayed a different side of everybody's favorite Batman.

2008-06-09 21:33National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007)
Sure, it had its super outrageous parts, but it was still entertaining. I don't think you're supposed to take these movies too seriously. Just sit back, enjoy the ride and you'll have a great time.

Decent political thriller with a twist. Sure, some of the elements could have been more hashed out, but with the myriad of themes they tried to cover, they did the best they could.

I'm not really sure why this movie got such bad reviews. Sure, some parts were cheesy, but it's SATC, what do you expect? I laughed a lot. And that's all that mattered to me.

The idea behind the movie was kind of interesting: ride a Segway at 10mph from Seattle to Boston, but as a piece of cinema, it wasn't so great. I think this movie better documents the hardships of filming an independent movie than the true "face" of America.

18 short films, 21 directors, pure excellence. When I heard they were all about love, I expected some cheesy, romantic shorts (not that this would be a bad thing), but instead was treated to more realistic views on love. While some of the shorts were definite misses, some were fun to watch--even the sad ones.
